what is the gift for 60th wedding anv.?

Answer
This is the 'diamond' wedding anniversary.

Because of this, all gifts should have at least some diamonds in them.

KEEP IN MIND THAT FLOWERS are not traditional for a 60th anniversary.

Quoted ideas from ehow.com:
1. Keep in mind that the traditional theme for anniversary number 60 is the diamond jubilee.

2. Analyze the recipient's style and tastes: Is he a diamond cufflinks type? Would she wear a rhinestone tiara?

3. Take a look at your budget. Will it best support a diamond necklace or rhinestones?

4. If this is a gift for a couple, consider interests that they share. Do they travel together, play sports or have common hobbies?

5. Be creative with the diamond theme. Traditional yet not-so-literal ideas include baseball diamonds, rhinestones, diamond playing cards, Diamond Head, diamond mines, or diamondback snakes or terrapins.

6. Turn those ideas into gifts: a cruise to Hawaii, season baseball tickets or even World Series tix, a trip to South Africa, or bridge lessons.

7. Think about smaller-scale presents, such as family photos in diamond-shaped frames or golf or tennis clothes with an argyle pattern.

8. Keep in mind that some people, especially senior citizens, may not want more stuff. As an alternative, consider services: a landscaper, a chef, free cab rides, a spa day, etc.
